Gen 2
1
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole Or, order; See Joh 1:10 world of them.
2
Heb 4:4 And God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh
day from all his works which he made.
3
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all
his works which God Or, made in the beginning; See Ac 1:1 began to do.
4
This is the book of the generation of heaven and earth, when Or, it took place they were made, in the day in which the Lord
God made the heaven and the earth,
5
and every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field
before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man
to cultivate it.
6
But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.
7
And God formed the man of dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath
of life, 1 Co 15:45 and the man became a living soul.
8
And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the man whom he had formed.
9
And God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful Gr. for sight to the eye and good for food, and the tree
of life in the midst of the garden, and
the tree of learning Or, that which is to be known; Comp. Ro 1:19 the knowledge of good and evil.
10
And a river proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into
four heads.
11
The name of the one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat,
where there is gold.
12
And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.
13
And the name of the second river is Geon, this it is which encircles the whole land
of Ethiopia.
14
And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians.
And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15
And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of
Delight, to cultivate and keep it.
16
And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden
you Or, eat for food may freely eat,
17
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—of it you shall not eat, but in
whatever day you eat of it, you shall Or, die by death surely die.
18
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, let us make for
him a help Gr. according to him suitable to him.
19
And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and
all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them,
and whatever Adam called any living Gr. soul creature, that was the name of it.
20
And Adam Gr. called gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild
beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself.
21
And God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and
filled up the flesh instead thereof.
22
And God Gr. built formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
23
And Adam said, This now is bone Or, out of; See the force of ek in Eph 5:30. of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall
be called Or, wife woman, because she was taken out of In the Heb. the reason of the name appears; She shall be called Issha
because she
was taken out of Ish her husband.
24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall Gr. be cemented; Mt 19:5 cleave to his wife, and they two
shall be one flesh.
